MOAR Submarines - Vanguard Class Nuclear Submarine
summary
Vanguard class carries 16 Trident II D5 SLBMs with up to eight warheads each (variable yield quoted 0.3–100 kt), so a full load is roughly equivalent to hundreds of Hiroshima bombs, though patrols often sail with fewer warheads and some decoys. The UK keeps one boat at sea as the independent deterrent and stores a Prime Minister’s handwritten launch letter onboard; a 2016 test launch off the US coast failed, with software suspected.
